Am I the only one who thinks this sounds eerily familiar?

From inside the 458, I swear it sounds like an S2000 in VTEC. No, I'm not a die-hard S2000 fanboi that thinks it's the greatest car ever and I'm not trying to compare the 458 to S2000 in any way but inside sound.

Start at 2:45 or so and from inside the cockpit, it sounds very, very similar to an S2000 at high rpm. A bit disappointing actually. I'm sure in person it has a different tone and obviously is WAY more powerful, but I'm surprised at the similar pitch.

I'd have to drive both , but I may actually prefer an LP560 Lambo.

Listen at the first part and last part of an old S2000 vid of mine:

Only mod on my S2000 at the time was a cold air intake. Sounds very familiar to me.

Chris Harris rocks. Much better than the coma patient who did the 458 review for Autocar.
